Most journeys from South Korea to Sydney connect through Singapore Changi Airport. For longer layovers, you can join an official transit city tour or explore the airports themed gardens, walking trails, and immersive attractions. Shorter connections can be comfortably spent enjoying quiet rest areas, showers, shops, and dining options within the terminals. Your time at the airport is more than just a wait, it is an integral part of your journey.

Seoul and Busan share the same time zone, Korea Standard Time (UTC+9). Sydney operates on Australian Eastern Standard Time (UTC+10) from roughly April to early October, and switches to Australian Eastern Daylight Time (UTC+11) from early October to early April. This means Sydney is usually 1 hour ahead of South Korean cities during standard time, and 2 hours ahead when daylight saving time is in effect in New South Wales.

Yes, your baggage will typically be checked through to Sydney when flying via the layover airport on a single booking with Singapore Airlines, provided both flight segments are under the same booking reference (PNR), the connection is under 24 hours, and, for partner-operated onward flights, a through-check agreement is in place.

You may be able to plan a stopover at the layover city on your journey to Sydney, subject to your ticket conditions and availability. When booking, you can search for multi-city options or speak with our customer service team or your travel agent, who can advise whether a stopover can be added to your itinerary.
